Earthbound Beginnings/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

* [[Scrappy Mechanic]]:

** The battle system may be the sole reason why this game is less popular than its sequels outside of Japan, as it's just a bad ''[[Dragon Quest]]'' clone in terms of gameplay (remember that the reason Itoi decided to make a video game in the first place is because he played ''[[Dragon Quest]]'', so the similarity is inevitable).

* [[Sequel Displacement]]: Despite being the first Mother game, it's the most obscure. Notice how [[EarthBound|Ness]], [[Mother 3|Lucas]], and various references to their games are in the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, but all this game gets is some music (most of which are used in all three games, or at least [[EarthBound]]) and a few stickers in Brawl.

Oddly enough though, it's the ''MOTHER'' version of Magicant that appears as a stage in the fourth game rather than ''EarthBound'''s.

* [[That One Boss]]: The game has only a handful of bosses, but the Dragon in Magicant stands out for his powerful normal attacks and devastating PSI. Even with a PSI-Block from Ana, it's still a very challenging fight.

* [[That One Level]]: Holy-Loly Mountain/Mt. Itoi, to some Duncan Factory due to it's massive size.
